The joint chapters of the IBA Alumni Club of KSA and Bahrain, recently inaugurated the "Pakistan-KSA Corporate Connect 1.Infinity" series, a beacon for seminal seminars and networking events. The event theme was built around how Pakistan can capitalize on Saudi Arabia's ascendancy as a global powerhouse, through its expanding influence in the spheres of Global Finance, Trade, Culture, Sports, Recreation, and Tourism.
At the forefront of these dialogues were preeminent speakers and panelists who eloquently delineated the strategic synergies between Pakistan and KSA. These thought leaders explored the dynamic potential of Pakistan's premier talents, poised to amplify Saudi Arabia's visionary projects and initiatives.
The distinguished H.E. Ahmad Farooq, Ambassador of Pakistan to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, graced the event as the Chief Guest, lending further gravitas to the occasion.
Hosted within the stately confines of the Embassy of Pakistan in Riyadh, the event drew a constellation of corporate luminaries from across KSA, Bahrain, UAE, and Pakistan. The assembly of notable participants included:
And other esteemed figures shaping the corporate landscape.
In a compelling discourse, Ambassador Farooq underscored the critical need for robust training programs to cater to the evolving demands of the KSA business milieu. He advocated for IBA’s Center for Executive Education as an instrumental entity in fostering such educational endeavors. Notably, he spotlighted the absence of a Pakistani educational institution in Saudi Arabia, despite the presence of a substantial expatriate community.
Ambassador Farooq's insights also illuminated the educational void beyond secondary education, heralding a new epoch of academic pursuit within the region. He emphasized IBA's unique position to bridge this educational chasm, potentially catalyzing the integration of its graduates into the Kingdom's burgeoning white-collar sector.
As we reflect on this landmark occasion orchestrated by the unified chapters of KSA and Bahrain, the spirit of progress and expansion remains undimmed. We look forward with eager anticipation to the genesis of new chapters, charting our path in every corner where our distinguished alumni continue to excel and inspire.
